' This invention relatesto improvements in tools for the looseningorremoving of parts of mechanical structures, which said parts by reasonof their peculiar form and parsticular location, relative to themechanisms with which they may be associated, areinca-pableof beingoperated upon withordinary tools. f

,The object of our invention is to provide a m tooleof thiskind which iscompact in form,

rugged and durable, and which is capable of a relatively wide range ofuse.

In thepresent disclosure ofour invention it is embodied in a'servic'eimplement or de- 15 vice which we have designated .as a combinationtool." "This'improved combination tool is especially adaptedto .thepurpose of the removal of engine .valves, valve springs, and the like;and other mechanical parts which are difiicult of access and which forone reason or anotherbecome corrodedIor stuck, such .asthe taperedterminal parts or pole pieces that are seated in theconnector heads ofstorage batteries. 7 V

The .objects of-our invention are accomplished .by the new construction,combination and arrangement of parts shown in the "accompanying drawingsand the invention is described and defined in the appended 30 claims; s

Thesever'al parts of our invention are identified 'byzsuitable.characters of reference applied .to-the'm, in the different views in thedrawings in which .7 V

I Our invention contemplates theproviding or a Cshapeddevice, the head member and the foot-member thereof being retainedin on line cross head movablelongitudinally on the handle B. -a knucklepin B and may be moved to the positions opposed to each other, the headmember being removably connected to the body member and the foot memberbeing re-, movably and hingedly connected to said body member, a sleeveloose on the body member and adapted to normally hold the foot mem berconnection rigid and which sleeve is 'capable of being moved to.position disengaged from saidfoot member connection, a

85 head member, and a power shaft retained in said cross head andcapable of being moved V to and held in positions varied with relation.to the said foot member.

Our improved combination tool, as shown in the present specification isof size and arrangementsuitable. for the general uses herein beforereferred .to, the dimension between .the head member and the foot memberbeing about seven inches.

The head member Amay be made of malleable iron and is provided with avertical longitudinal aperture A. v This aperture is V of width topermit free passing of a threaded power shaft B which is provided with aThis handle B isconnected by extended dotted lineposition shown inFigure 1, its corner having abutting .engagement with a lug B formedintegral with the head portion of the power shaft. The said power shaftis threaded through a cross head C whose said portions, are providedwith side plates C and rest loosely in slots A which are provided in thesides of the head member. V

While We -consider this cross head structure of preferred form, itwill'be understood that other types of construction may be used.

By this arrangement it is obvious that the power shaft may be disposedat various positions longitudinally of the head member.

At the rearward and downwardly extended portion of said head member isprovided a mortised recess A its upper edge being shown by the dottedline in Figure 1 an designated as seat A. I i

The footmember D is oft-apered' form, having the'flat like toe portionD. It is provided with adongitudinal bifurcation D of the form andlengthshown inFigure 3. At the rearwardly and upwardly extended portion ofsaid foot member is provided a tongue D .whch has an angularly disposedno face D;
